“Given liquidity and timing of the Company’s assets and liabilities, the directors believe that the Company has sufficient cash to meet its obligations as they fall due. Additionally, should it become necessary, the Company can call on the financial support of the ultimate controlling party, the SAP SE. The directors are aware of any indication that the financial statements are not prepared on the going concern basis. Due to this continued support, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”
